TVR: Struggling is a part of life, we need to work constantly on something to get it, the struggle behind being a successful all-girl band is to believe in your dreams and when you believe you can choose to follow.

TM: What is your view about ‘rock’ And ‘Classical’ music?

TVR: The most obvious differences between the two genres is the instruments used. Rock is played with the classic format of a singer, electric guitar, drums and bass guitar. Most classical music adheres to a strict set of rules whereas rock is much freer musically. Both forms of music will withstand time equally as well.

TM: Any new project or album you are presently working upon?

TVR: We have just released our Album. So we are focusing on getting gigs and playing our new songs.

TM: Your predictions about the future of CD and vinyl sales and what if digital music completely replace these format?

TVR: New album is in fact digitally being distributed. This doesn’t mean we are going to forget about CDs and vinyl. Well maybe CDsbut vinylss are here to stay for giving the listener a live performance, warm quality kind of sounds.

TM: What is your view about the online selling of music and illegal music downloads?

TVR: Selling music online is convenient. Our Album is also being sold in this format. An illegal music download is really not cool as the artist works so hard and invest time and money earned from gigs to create the music which is then easily swooped up by the freeloaders.

TM: Any cherish moment you like to share with us…

TVR: Watch our official music videos: Ready set go, Whims, Authority

TM: what are your future prospects and dreams?

TVR: To play music our whole life.

TM: In the recent world, what do you think is the most powerful driving force – Money or Music? (Your comments on it)

TVR: If we have to choose between the two then it would be money for many and music for the few. But music is something which shouldn’t be sacrificed. Money can’t buy the respect you earn by playing music.

TM: Your thoughts on being featured in our magazine Thousand Miles.

TVR: We would like to thank you for supporting and featuring independent artist like us in your magazine.

TM: What is the inspiration behind the formation of your band?

TVR: Love for music is the inspiration behind the formation of the band. Wanting to learn how to play and make our own music to express ourselves has brought us to this beautiful compartment.
